CAC distributes scholarships to 12 students in the Graduate Certificate program.
The Center on Age & Community (CAC), in partnership with the Helen Bader Foundation, is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2008-09 scholarships for UWM graduate students in the Applied Gerontology Certificate Program.
Thanks to the generous support of the Helen Bader Foundation, an unprecedented $80,000 in scholarships were awarded
This year's recipients are Steve Bernfeld, James H. Brown, Stephanie R. Bruce, Stacy K. Ehler, Gretchen Fairweather, Jennifer R. Fiscal, Elizabeth Grimm, Myounghee Jorn, Joshua Lang, Mark A. Proffitt, Chia-Jung Shih and Maggie Wallendal.
These twelve students come from diverse backgrounds but have all demonstrated their commitment to the study of Gerontology through research, community service and extracurricular activities aimed to better the lives of older adults.
The Scholarship Program is part of CAC's mission of linking University expertise to community innovation in aging services. Since the Center on Age & Community was first established in 2001, one of the primary goals has been to remove the barriers that prevent students from studying Gerontology. In today's world with so many older adults on the horizon, the study of Gerontology is needed more than ever before.
